>> I personally think it's a bit disgusting there's a cap on FICA. At my first job, the FICA wage base was capped at $3,750. The orignal program was capped at far less than that. The fact is it is a liberal program out of control that threatens the existence of this country. Why would you want to give them MORE? It doesn't matter. You could remove the cap and still, the program would be broke before my children retire. We pay a smaller percent of FICA (as a total of gross) than a clerk earning only $25k This ought to serve as a signal as to what a mess the program is.
